To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 24


    Chapter 24 We’re Not That Close


    “But…”


    “It’s okay, Gilbert. I don’t like it that much anyway,” Jenny said smilingly. After all, it wasn’t essential to


    her.


    Since Gilbert didn’t make another bid, the goods belonged to Alec now. The crowd couldn’t help but


    sigh and be envious. Faye was also pretty worked up. She didn’t expect Alec to bid for such an


    expensive item for her. She was nervous yet excited at the same time. However, the earrings didn’t


    arrive in front of her


    She watched as Alec paid without hesitation. Later, he whispered something to the attendant. After


    that, the attendant walked up to Jenny and said to her, “Hi, miss. Mr. Faust wants to give this pair of


    earrings to you as a gift.”


    Gift?


    Everybody else was astonished. A 60-million-dor item as a gift? What was Alec’s rtionship with


    this woman? Wait, Wasn’t she Gilbert’s sister? How did she get involved with Alec? Why did Alec


    choose to give it to Gilbert’s sister and not his own sister? The crowd was confused. The only


    conclusion they coulde up with was that it was chaotic in the world of high society.


    Jenny didn’t reach out to ept it, nor did she look a tiny bit happy about it. She frowned and looked at


    Alec as if to ask him what the meaning of this was.


    “It’s just a small gift. You’ve saved Faye. Her life is worth more than this thing.” What he meant was


    very obvious. He bought this gift to say thanks for saving Faye’s life.


    As he was saying this, he didn’t turn to look at Faye at all, so naturally, he didn’t see her pale face.


    “You’re giving it such an expensive gift because she saved me? Alec, is that it?” Faye thought.


    She suddenly felt like she couldn’t figure out this man in front of her. Out of nowhere, she felt a sense


    of insecurity.


    “There’s no need. I’ve already got my payment for it,” she declined without hesitation.


    Alec’s expression immediately turned ugly. “Must you piss me off in order to feel satisfied?” This wasn’t


    the first time he got rejected by Jenny.


    “I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Jenny looked at him with a cold gaze. “We’re not that close


    anyway. I ask that you don’t do things that will make others misunderstand.”


    Everyone behind them was invested in this. They wished they could just go up to her and ask about her


    rtionship with Alec. Her words “not that close” totally triggered Alec. He immediately got up angrily.


    “Alright! Very well!”


    He hadn’t been enraged this way for years. Alec left the auction hall. The people behind them didn’t


    know exactly what had happened. They could only sense an air of coldness from Alec, which made


    them shudder. It appeared that woman had made Alec angry. He hadn’t been enraged this way for


    years.


    At once, the crowd all looked at Jenny with different emotions. Some were curious, some admired her,


    but most of them sympathized with her.


    “Pissing Alec Faust off? Good luck with that,” was what they were all thinking.


    However, Jenny looked nonchnt. She returned her gaze to the stage, waiting for the next auction


    item. On the venue’s second floor, Alec was sitting in a private room. His face was livid with rage.


    Swirling the drink in his hand, he raised his head and gulped down the entire ss of wine.


    “You lost control.” The man sitting across from him was also holding a ss of wine. His deep voice


    was enough to make someone tremble with fear.


    “Yup.” Alec didn’t deny it. He had indeed lost control of himself. Every time he faced Jenny, he would


    always lose control. Paul Wagner raised his head and looked at the auction that was going on


    downstairs.


    “Who’s that woman? Your attitude toward her…”

    Paul didn’t finish his sentence. There was a hint of yfulness in his eyes. He had known Alec for so


    many years and rarely saw him so out of control. And it was because of a woman. Interesting.


    “The doctor that performed Faye’s surgery,” Alec answered with a fierce look in his eyes. “I don’t know


    why, but I somehow feel she has something against me.”


    “Oh?” Paul was intrigued. “It’s rare to find a woman who acts hostile toward you.”


    This was probably the reason why Alec was so affected.


    “Help me investigate her identity. I don’t think she’s as simple as she looks,” he said after gulping


    another ss of wine.


    Paul nodded. “We should indeed investigate this. Who knows, she might have been sent by someone


    to get close to you.”


    As they talked, something seemed to have happened downstairs at the auction. Chaos had ensued.
